- Locality
Dart frog trade is locality- and morph-line driven (e.g. Azureus, Citronella, Cobalt for Dendrobates tinctorius; many lines for Ranitomeya imitator). Captive lines should not be crossed between localities — record the specific line in the animal's bloodline/notes rather than as a calculator trait. A future batch should split this umbrella into per-genus entries (Dendrobates, Ranitomeya, Phyllobates, Oophaga) for serious collections.
